Channel-masked Asymmetric Distribution Matching for Cross-Domain Generalized Dataset Distillation

AAAI 2026technical

Dataset distillation has achieved remarkable progress as an effective approach for data compression. However, real-world data often comes from diverse domains, leading to potential mismatches between the domains of synthesized images and those of the evaluation set. Existing methods primarily assume

Meta-Guided Sample Reweighting for Robust Cross-Modal Hashing Retrieval with Noisy Labels

AAAI 2026technical

Cross-modal hashing (CMH) is an effective tool for large-scale retrieval due to its low storage cost and high efficiency. However, real-world multi-modal datasets often contain noisy annotations, which can significantly impair model performance. Many existing methods address this issue by using the

In-context Learning Demonstration Generation with Text Distillation

IJCAI 2025

In-context learning (ICL), a paradigm derived from large language models (LLMs), holds significant promise but is notably sensitive to the choice of input demonstrations. While numerous methodologies have been developed to select the optimal demonstrations from existing datasets, our work alternativ

Meta-Learning Dynamic Center Distance: Hard Sample Mining for Learning with Noisy Labels

ICCV 2025poster

The sample selection approach is a widely adopted strategy for learning with noisy labels, where examples with lower losses are effectively treated as clean during training. However, this clean set often becomes dominated by easy examples, limiting the model's meaningful exposure to more challenging…

Robust Noisy Correspondence Learning with Equivariant Similarity Consistency

CVPR 2024poster

The surge in multi-modal data has propelled cross-modal matching to the forefront of research interest. However the challenge lies in the laborious and expensive process of curating a large and accurately matched multimodal dataset. Commonly sourced from the Internet these datasets often suffer from…

Learning with Diversity: Self-Expanded Equalization for Better Generalized Deep Metric Learning

ICCV 2023poster

Exploring good generalization ability is essential in deep metric learning (DML). Most existing DML methods focus on improving the model robustness against category shift to keep the performance on unseen categories. However, in addition to category shift, domain shift also widely exists in real-wor…

Subclass-Dominant Label Noise: A Counterexample for the Success of Early Stopping

NeurIPS 2023poster

In this paper, we empirically investigate a previously overlooked and widespread type of label noise, subclass-dominant label noise (SDN). Our findings reveal that, during the early stages of training, deep neural networks can rapidly memorize mislabeled examples in SDN. This phenomenon poses challe…

Estimating Instance-dependent Bayes-label Transition Matrix using a Deep Neural Network

ICML 2022spotlight

In label-noise learning, estimating the transition matrix is a hot topic as the matrix plays an important role in building statistically consistent classifiers. Traditionally, the transition from clean labels to noisy labels (i.e., clean-label transition matrix (CLTM)) has been widely exploited to l…

MetricFormer: A Unified Perspective of Correlation Exploring in Similarity Learning

NeurIPS 2022accept

Similarity learning can be significantly advanced by informative relationships among different samples and features. The current methods try to excavate the multiple correlations in different aspects, but cannot integrate them into a unified framework. In this paper, we provide to consider the multi…

RSA: Reducing Semantic Shift from Aggressive Augmentations for Self-supervised Learning

NeurIPS 2022accept

Most recent self-supervised learning methods learn visual representation by contrasting different augmented views of images. Compared with supervised learning, more aggressive augmentations have been introduced to further improve the diversity of training pairs. However, aggressive augmentations may…

Graph Debiased Contrastive Learning with Joint Representation Clustering

IJCAI 2021poster

By contrasting positive-negative counterparts, graph contrastive learning has become a prominent technique for unsupervised graph representation learning. However, existing methods fail to consider the class information and will introduce false-negative samples in the random negative sampling, causi…

Understanding and Improving Early Stopping for Learning with Noisy Labels

NeurIPS 2021poster

The memorization effect of deep neural network (DNN) plays a pivotal role in many state-of-the-art label-noise learning methods. To exploit this property, the early stopping trick, which stops the optimization at the early stage of training, is usually adopted. Current methods generally decide the…

DistillHash: Unsupervised Deep Hashing by Distilling Data Pairs

CVPR 2019poster

Due to storage and search efficiency, hashing has become significantly prevalent for nearest neighbor search. Particularly, deep hashing methods have greatly improved the search performance, typically under supervised scenarios. In contrast, unsupervised deep hashing models can hardly achieve satis…
